Perhaps I’m being too focused on myself, as usual, but I’m wondering this since seeing people say this about another forum member in another thread. I realize I’m high functioning; I don’t think I brag that up, but maybe I’m wrong, maybe it comes across that way. I talk about work knowing that most of you are unable to do it, but really I’m just talking about my day, and work happens to be the dominant thing for me during the week. I don’t know, I just wonder about this. I apologize if I have come across as arrogant or in any way condescending.
Please, though, do not resort to bashing that other member on my thread. I really don’t like that; it’s one thing to butt heads with another member, but something else to launch personal attacks/insults against them.
I never felt that way about you. It’s one thing to talk about your day and a completely other thing to put people down for not being as high functioning or not trying hard enough. You don’t do those things.
You don’t come across as being arrogant @freakonaleash.
Maybe a little self absorbed, but lots of people with SZ come across this way.
Including myself.
It’s normal.
No, I dont think you are concieted. People just talk about what they did that day. If that includes work then so be it.
I dont think there will ever be a total under standing between 2 people of which one has limited work experience while the other is nose to the grind stone.
They may not understand or share commom problems every day of life, but i still see no reason why the two could not get along.
I also think there could be many here who did infact work at least part time or even full time in the past.
Speaking for myself, i do the kind of work that is unpaid in exchange for rent. It is still difficult as any job though at times.
Seeing people who do well, especially with mental illness, makes me feel very happy. The one problem is when they keep coming back to the forum with concerning issues…
